A pub owner in Leicestershire, England has decided to add a few of his own creative touches to the decoration of his pub - by turning it into his very own 'World Cup' by adding a grass soccer field inside.

James Banbury, owner of the Old Swan, has turned his pub into the perfect place to watch this summer's most watched tournament.

According to Ananova.com, Banbury turfed one of the bars, painted pitch markings on the grass, and turned the fireplace into a goal, with chalk-drawn goalposts and crossbar.

Banbury first got his idea while regulars watched England played a match against Trinidad and Tobago.

He says: "The match was nil-nil and there was some banter among some of the lads who felt England would not get through to the next round.

"I told them I would turf the bar if England made it through and, after we won, I had to go ahead with it.

"Everyone who has walked in and seen the grass has burst out laughing. I'm really impressed with how it's fitted in and I reckon if I sprinkle some water on it, I can get it to grow."
